$284M+ in Rug Pulls on PancakeSwap V2 in 20 Weeks – Rug Pull Detector V3 Launched With 90.1% Accuracy
$284,694,192. That is not a headline from a dramatic DeFi hack. No Twitter threads trended. No security firms issued emergency advisories. No mainstream crypto media ran front-page coverage. That is the total value extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2 alone – across just 20 weeks in 2026 – through a mechanism so normalized it barely registers as news: the rug pull. 103,695 separate rug pull events. $973,588,405 removed. $688,894,213 added before removal. ChainAware simultaneously launches Rug Pull Detector V3, combining behavioral analysis of contract creators with full smart contract inspection to reach 90.1% prediction accuracy, up from 68% in V2.
